Best Korea: Kim Supervises Drill of Nuclear-Capable Rocket Launchers Designed to Target Seoul

Every time we talk about North Korean weapons systems, we need to remember that they are simply a response to the Western aggression that has been going on since the US invaded the country in 1950.

The war literally never ended. The US has consistently refused to allow South Korea to sign a paper ending the war. You might remember that Donald Trump wanted to do this, then John Bolton said he was going to “do a Libya” against Kim.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un supervised a live-fire drill of nuclear-capable “super-large” multiple rocket launchers designed to target South Korea’s capital as he vowed to boost his war deterrent in the face of deepening confrontations with rivals, state media said Tuesday.

The report came a day after the South Korean and Japanese militaries said they detected North Korea firing multiple short-range ballistic missiles toward waters off its eastern coast, adding to a streak of weapons displays that have raised regional tensions.

Experts say North Korea’s large-sized artillery rockets blur the boundaries between artillery systems and ballistic missiles because they can create their own thrust and are guided during delivery. The North has described some of these systems, including the 600mm multiple rocket launchers that were tested Monday, as capable of delivering tactical nuclear warheads.

North Korea’s launches came days after the end of the latest South Korean-U.S. combined military drills that the North portrays as an invasion rehearsal. It was unclear whether the North timed the launches with a visit to Seoul by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who on Monday attended a democracy summit and held talks with South Korean officials over the North Korean threat.

It is an “invasion rehearsal.”

What the hell else would it be?

Why won’t the West sign a peace treaty officially ending the war if they are not planning on continuing the war at some point? There is no explanation for that. Kim wants to officially end the war. He’s got no plan to conquer South Korea. He’s actually shown openness to starting some kind of opening that could lead to a reunification process some number of decades from now.

The US is the only relevant aggressor on earth. All military aggression of any consequence is being directly engineered by Washington. Then these people go around acting like they’re the victims, which is so much more offensive than being belligerent in the first place.
